If your husband has left any will then as per the will, if the property is given to you then you need to obtain probate in your name and after that you can sell freely.

If your husband has not left any will then you will have to get the property transferred in your name and after the transfer, you can sell the property.

Hope this helps!

If he has died intestate you need to obtain letter of administration or succession certificate first that will take some time. After that rest of the procedure can be explained on meeting. I need to check the property papers before any advise can be given.
